If a replay occurs, targeting a monster during the replay is not considered declaring an attack. Even if the monster's attack is negated or cancelled due to a replay, it is still considered to have declared an attack.

If a player is required to declare a card name, in place of declaring a full card name a precise description of a card's stats, appearance, and/or effects is considered acceptable as long as both players are in clear agreement over which card is being described.[1] Likewise, for different cards with homophonic names, such as "Rai-Mei" and "Raimei", the player must make it clear which card they are referring to when declaring the card name.[2]
